That's an old wives tale. The 3rd Gen or Signature series are basically an italian repro that Colt licensed. That is NOT true for the first and second series.
Attached is supporting documentation for inquiring minds.
So, this post made me curious about mine. I was thinking it was a second generation. I pulled it out and it's a 1860 Signature Series. It has a silver backstrap and trigger guard, unlike the one in the auction. And, it's serial number 2. My eyes bugged out when I saw that! Not sure how much...
Holy Black Powder Pistols Batman! So, is anyone gonna email the winner and tell him his mistake? That might be kinda like telling your friend his wife is cheating on him. You might get the backlash!
Exactly, that's how you do it! And if you're especially froggie, you enter that bid just prior to the auction ending or use an application that will do it for you.
No problem! Bump to the top of the for sale list. As things are added everything moves down, so to keep in front of people just scanning, you can reply to your post with bump or BTT (back to top) and it will put it at the top of the thread again for people to see.
I shipped some ammo about a year ago via ups. I applied the required labeling, and sure enough, it disappeared. Getting the claim settled was a major pain, and I still lost money because dummy me didn't insure for full value.
I ship online through the USPS website, priority mail with tracking and insure the package. Most times it's cheaper than Fedex/UPS. Have not had a problem yet. Shipped one last week.
